Barbourville Utility Commission headquarters

The Barbourville Utility Commission strives to provide Barbourville and Knox County with the most economical and highest quality service available, whether it is the highest quality water, the most reliable electric or the most advanced telecommunications.

Barbourville City Council created the commission in October 1938 for the purpose of purchasing the existing electric system. The commission, which now has 44 employees, has since expanded to include water, wastewater, cable television and fiber Internet services. Three commissioners, who are Barbourville residents, are selected by the mayor and approved by the city council. Each member serves a three-year term.
